Reign Dance presents naturally pure unprocessed organic oils, certified kosher organic oils, pesticide free oils and/or remote Island and old growth farm oils. Our oils are not refined, bleached, deodorized, winterized or synthetically preserved. Massage practices and schools, spas and hospitals around the country use these healing oils not only as a lubricating medium but also as a nutritive healing application of vital essential fatty acids.

THE NUMBER ONE TOOL OF A MASSAGE THERAPIST IS "THEIR OIL," just as an artist has his brushes, a doctor his instruments, the number one tool of a massage therapist is “their oil.” Usually when massage practitioners are buying oils for their practice, they may not be considering these two pints: First, does the oil have the right healing chemical content for the client? An example would be using pumpkin, borage or evening primrose which all have natural plant hormones that assist in issues of PMS and post-menopausal issues. Second, is the oil chosen organic, unrefined and “food grade quality”? Since our skin absorbs 25-60% of what is applied, especially in massage due to friction and heat, perhaps the rule of thumb should be, “If you can’t eat it, don't use it use it."

GROWERS, CHEMICAL COMPANIES AND MANUFACTURERS KNOW that “unrefined, cold-pressed base oils are rich with pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, enzymes, vitamins, natural steroids and assist prostaglandin production, an important immune system factor. Pharmaceutical companies buy tanks of raw oils to harvest their abundant medicinal elements for medicine. As health practitioners we should know exactly what those “healing elements” are, and in which specific oils they can be found.

>HOW DO I KNOW IF AN OIL IS REALLY SAFE?
Oils that are not processed, in any way, will have their original vibrant color and unique fragrance. *The process to remove color and essentials from an oil, called deodorization, requires a temperature of at least 450 degrees. Trans fatty acids begin forming as low as 280-325 degrees. (one of the main causes of high cholesterol) Free radicals form when temperature rises over 350 degrees. *Trail and error are the best ways to find your healing oil as many organic oils are even processed through deodorization which causes dangerous free radicals to form. The absence of heat in oil preparation is the greater safety measure. If an oil has no color and specifically no smell, even if it is organic, it is processed by deodorization.
Back to Top

HOW DO I KNOW IF I HAVE AN UNPROCESSED TRANS FATTY ACID & FREE RADICAL FREE OIL?
The key will be color and signature fragrance! Sunflower oil will smell just like sunflower seeds. Apricot oil is rich gold and smells like fruit and roses. Each oil has a different level of Linoleic acid (vitamin E, thins blood) and of Oleic acid (level of absorption). Essential fatty acids, found in unprocessed oils, feed our vital organs, lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation and contain important chemicals like GLA to rejuvenate our skin and enhance our immune system. As you may know, trans-fatty acids and free-radicals are interpreted, in the body as bad cholesterol. This means that even a good oil like olive oil which is high in essential fatty acids and omega acids, if it were heated above 350-375 degrees, would begin transforming into dangerous free-radicals.

HOW ARE OILS DIFFERENT? WHICH DO I USE FOR MY CLIENTS?
An oils purpose, “indication and contraindications” are unfortunately overlooked in our schools. Here is an example: If your client is a hemophiliac, any oil that thins their blood could cause bleeding. In this case, a massage therapist should avoid dangerous thinning oils like grapeseed oil and canola (hybridized rapeseed from the mustard family), safflower and passion seed oil. Another example: If your client suffers from PMS or is menopausal using an oil with high GLA content could bring them great relief from mood swings, water retention, sweats and irritability. The primary base oil highest in GLA is pumpkin seed oil. Imagine the difference it would make to massage someone in an oil that would actually help physically balance their endocrine system.
Back to Top

DOES OIL ABSORB INTO THE SKIN?
Absolutely! Our skin is Oil-loving. How much does it absorb? Depending on the oils “oleic acid content” from 35%-60%. Remember that all dermal patches applied to the skin, like hormonal or nicotine patches, are delivered into the body by a concentrated amount of “oleic acid”, the primary acid in all massage oils. Knowing the oleic acid content of the base oil you use is vital and basic education regarding your primary tool, your oil. Heat, moisture and friction raise the absorption percentages significantly. Note: Our skin is water resistant and oil receptive.
Back to Top

IS MY COLD PRESSED OIL REALLY COLD-PRESSED?
The laws in the US regarding trans fatty acids and free radicals in oils are almost non-existent. Europe has laws in place which require oil that is sold for consumption, to expose the trans fatty acid levels and whether the oil has been “further treated since purchase.” This is the snag. Manufacturers can buy cold-pressed oils and can sell them as such even though, upon receiving said cold-pressed oils, they further treated them for cosmetics, and foods so that they will have longer shelf lives, some up to 2 years.
Back to Top

HOW DO I KNOW IF AN OIL HAS BEEN FURTHER TREATED?
An unprocessed, cold-pressed oil that is “filtered only” will have a rich golden, green, red, orange or yellow color, and will be highly fragrant. If your oil is “color-free and fragrance free” it has been altered, even if it is organic.
Back to Top

WHAT DOES THE TERM “WHITE OIL” MEAN?
White oil in the oil industry means “dead oil.” This means that all life, enzymes, minerals, essentials, vitamins, color and fragrance have been removed. When all living material is removed the oil is called “inert” though it will now have dangerous trans fatty acids and free radicals. These processes are done to increase self life to as much as two years. This is what is commonly called the “carrier oil.”
Back to Top

WHAT IS THE SHELF LIFE OF A LIVING BASE?
Your unprocessed, filtered only massage oils, should be considered food quality. When they are not in use, refrigerate them or at least keep them out of direct sunlight in a cool place. Unprocessed, untreated, filtered-only organic oils will stay stable six months to one year in a cool place or refrigerated. This will ensure that their vitamins, minerals, and pain relieving properties stay vital and continue to contribute to your health.
